What is Academic Advisement?
Academic Advisement is the link between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. The Office of Academic Advisement assigns faculty advisors, offers academic counseling, and provides drop-in services regarding dropping/adding courses and informal advisement. It also produces advisement newsletters for students and faculty to provide course information and academic advisement twice a year prior to Advisement Week. The Academic Advisement Office also acknowledges the diversity of students who attend college, and therefore responds to their needs with specific professionals to support them.
